Shazam - a mobile music discovery provider - today celebrates the popularity of its award-winning music recognition application. Since September 2008, Shazam has grown from 20 million users to 35 million worldwide, with over a million tracks now being tagged every day across the world.
Following its introduction seven years ago, Shazam’s success has been driven through its partnerships with many of the world’s leading carriers and handset manufacturers.
In demonstration of this: Shazam, already deployed by 75 carriers across 60 countries, was recently voted as the Best App Ever for 2008 on the iPhone (downloadable from the Apple App Store), and was also one of the most popular applications on the day that the Android Market launched.
Andrew Fisher, Shazam’s CEO said: “Shazam has become a worldwide phenomenon and we have made significant progress in making music recognition ubiquitous on mobile phones. With consumers tagging an average of ten tracks a month, we’re confident that this exponential growth of end-user adoption will continue throughout 2009 with an anticipated 50 million Shazamers by the end of the year.”
